In the UK, we are accustomed to using ATMs which return our card, then dispense the cash. This makes it unlikely that a user will forget anything. However, in many countries, especially in parts of Asia and South America, the procedure is the reverse: the cash is dispensed, and the card follows quite a few seconds later. This makes it easy to take the cash and go without the card. Remember your cash and your card when withdrawing cash overseas. — P. Baughan, Leicester
